RIEGL VMY‑2 LiDAR Scanner & R.E.Y.

Known for their forward-thinking approach, the California-based firm R.E.Y. Engineers, Inc. was among the early adopters of RIEGL’s VMX system back in 2010—long before mobile scanning became mainstream. Now, they are celebrating 15 years of geospatial innovation with RIEGL VMY‑2 mobile LiDAR system.

The VMY‑2 delivers high-density LiDAR point clouds paired with advanced imaging—including dual 12MP panoramic cameras and a 72MP Ladybug6 spherical camera—making it an ideal fit for everything from road and infrastructure surveys to asset inventory and cultural heritage documentation.

Unlike their larger VMX system, the VMY‑2 offers easier transport and setup, enabling small teams to cover large areas quickly without sacrificing data quality. This new system enhances R.E.Y.’s ability to deliver precise, immersive spatial data across California and beyond.

“With the VMY and its enhanced imagery capabilities, we’ll be able to collect more data, faster, and deliver even greater value to our clients,” said Daniel Clark, Senior LiDAR Technician at R.E.Y.

The move underscores R.E.Y.’s long-standing partnership with RIEGL and their shared commitment to geospatial excellence. After 15 years of growth fueled by cutting-edge technology, the firm is more agile than ever—ready to take on ambitious projects with speed, accuracy, and creativity.

R.E.Y.’s investment in the VMY‑2 also reflects a broader industry shift toward compact, versatile mobile mapping systems that don’t compromise on precision. With more clients seeking faster turnarounds and scalable data solutions, the ability to deploy a lightweight system like the VMY‑2 is a strategic advantage. It allows R.E.Y. to adapt quickly to project demands while maintaining the high standards their clients expect. Whether capturing infrastructure in urban environments or documenting remote heritage sites, the VMY‑2 empowers their team to do more with less—while continuing to push the boundaries of what mobile LiDAR can achieve.
